Park YoonKyung transforms a text into an abstract image that is read differently according to an audience’s subjectivity. It is named ‘textimage’, which is a compound word of text and image. With the vivid combinations of colors, huge brush strokes, and various directions of paint drips, she leaves traces of gravity and time into her paintings. Through the translucent screen and installation, Park makes an active painting by engaging a close relationship between the painting, space, and the audience.  She enables an open form of interpretation by imaging texts and emphasizing the interaction between painting, audience, and space.
